Configuring a Virtual Packet Gateway

You can configure four virtual packet gateways (VPGs) on a router. Each VPG is associated with a different PIC.

Step-by-Step Procedure

To configure a VPG:

1. Create a VPG, and assign a name to the VPG. You can configure an IP address as the VPG name. However, the IP address is not used in the operation of the VPG.
   [edit services pgcp]
   user@host#edit gateway vpg-1
2. Specify the IP address of the VPG. This address is the local IP address on which the VPG receives Packet Gateway Control Protocol (PGCP) messages from the packet gateway controller (PGC).
   [edit services pgcp gateway vpg-1]
   user@host#set gateway-address 10.10.30.1
3. Specify the port number of the VPG.
   [edit services pgcp gateway vpg-1]
   user@host#set gateway-port 2944
4. (Optional) Configure the number of seconds before the VPG removes gates following a disconnection from the PGC.
   [edit services pgcp gateway vpg-1]
   user@host#set cleanup-timeout 3600
5. (Optional) Configure the maximum number of concurrent calls allowed on the VPG. If you configure multiple VPGs for one service PIC, you can use this statement to achieve international oversubscription of resources or a fair distribution of resources between the VPGs.
   [edit services pgcp gateway vpg-1]
   user@host#set max-concurrent-calls 6000
